The Vajraśekhara Tantra (T. rdo rje rtse mo), or "Vajra Peak Tantra", is an explanatory yoga tantra included in the Tibetan Kangyur; it is related to the Sarvatathāgatatattvasaṃgraha.[1][2]
This text appears just following the Sarvatathāgatatattvasaṃgraha in the Dergé Tengyur.[3]
Not to be confused with the Vajraśekhara Sūtra of the Chinese Canon, which is a translation of the first chapter of the Sarvatathāgatatattvasaṃgraha.
